11	If Pink's "Please Don't Leave Me" were sung by a man, it would never be allowed on the radio. Why is it okay to play a song about domestic abuse when the abuser is female?		Sarikitty	/r/MensRights	23/05/12 12:13 AM

5	This was the only bathroom... Women see all men as a single entity. I see where you're coming from, but your phrasing is grouping 'women' into a single entity as well.	/r/MensRights	21/10/13 06:22 AM

2	15 year old boy raped. Rapist wins custody of child, and the boy is ordered to pay $25,000 in child support. Fear of getting in trouble, even when you know you should be in the right and know it's not your fault, can be a powerful motivator to keep quiet.	/r/MensRights	14/07/13 06:27 AM
1	To /r/feminism: here's what's wrong with reddit I hear it frequently often, and I use it for people personally, but YMMV.	/r/MensRights	24/11/12 02:39 AM
2	Why is this even encouraged. (xpost from /r/pics) That's something I really admired about the Princess and the Frog. The princess doesn't sit around waiting to be saved, she has her dream, chases it, and doesn't ever lose sight of it.	/r/MensRights	04/11/12 02:46 AM
10	Secret from PostSecret.com: The front reads "The strongest man in my life is a rape survivor" This is the back. I'm guessing Frank (the man in charge of PostSecret) left the 'back' side horizontal so that readers could more easily tell it was the reverse of the previous image, which was aligned and written horizontally.	/r/MensRights	16/09/12 08:26 PM
2	Male childcare workers: "parents had highlighted in yellow on their child's enrolment form they wanted no male worker to go near their offspring" I haven't had much experience with the elementary end of it, since there's a lot less supervision there. In preschool, some schools are creating 'rough and tumble' spaces. A lab school I used to work at has a side room that's entirely lined in padded foam structures and such, where even running full speed into a wall wouldn't do anything to a kid. They have a rule in the classroom that you can play rough with a friend if they're okay with it too, in that space, and parents are aware of it from t…	/r/MensRights	24/08/12 07:50 PM
2	Male childcare workers: "parents had highlighted in yellow on their child's enrolment form they wanted no male worker to go near their offspring" It's not new. It being an issue is.	/r/MensRights	24/08/12 06:43 AM
1	Male childcare workers: "parents had highlighted in yellow on their child's enrolment form they wanted no male worker to go near their offspring" Some of those statements are ridiculous, but just so you're aware, some restrictions are due to licensing requirements. I'm not saying that wasn't a paranoid, restrictive location, but sometimes rules (however seemingly arbitrary) are in place to prevent lawsuits, fines, citations and being shut down. Rough-housing is a common issue nowadays, for various reasons; there's the potential for licensing to come down on you if children get hurt doing so, parents often misconstrue or take issue with it…	/r/MensRights	18/08/12 11:28 PM
1	Male childcare workers: "parents had highlighted in yellow on their child's enrolment form they wanted no male worker to go near their offspring" I'd like to see a source on that violence statistic, if you have one. The only clear-cut 'problem' I have seen from female workers that I haven't from male workers is an occasional tendency to think they know better than a child's father/parents regarding the child, though that could also be from a poor sample size and personal experience, and it's anecdotal anyway.	/r/MensRights	18/08/12 11:23 PM
1	Male childcare workers: "parents had highlighted in yellow on their child's enrolment form they wanted no male worker to go near their offspring" It's frustrating and detrimental to absolutely everyone involved, especially the children.	/r/MensRights	18/08/12 11:16 PM
11	Male childcare workers: "parents had highlighted in yellow on their child's enrolment form they wanted no male worker to go near their offspring" Screw that, I can lift groceries and carry around two crying little ones as well as a man, and a man can soothe a scraped knee or rock a baby to sleep as well as I can. That's just infuriating. Do they not realize it's demeaning and harmful to call childcare women's work? Screw that. You're doing amazing things for young children, and keep up the good work, sir.	/r/MensRights	18/08/12 06:29 AM
43	Male childcare workers: "parents had highlighted in yellow on their child's enrolment form they wanted no male worker to go near their offspring" I've been in child development and early childhood education courses for four years now. There have been less than a dozen men in my classes, cumulatively. Sadly, many of those often taper off as the program goes on, and you stop seeing them in your classes. A professor once lamented about a lab student at UC Davis who was screamed at by a parent because a child came up and sat on his knee, and the parent thought he would "turn her child gay". We bemoan the lack of positive male role models in y…	/r/MensRights	18/08/12 06:21 AM
2	To /r/feminism: here's what's wrong with reddit Can't be as bad as that guy who makes 'art' by squirting paint out of his anus onto a canvas. NSFW, obviously.	/r/MensRights	29/06/12 10:56 PM
5	To /r/feminism: here's what's wrong with reddit Alright, so it was ad hominem, then. I'm sorry you've got so much anger. Try to have a nice day, sir.	/r/MensRights	29/06/12 05:42 PM
2	To /r/feminism: here's what's wrong with reddit Disregarding the hatred towards women in the latter half of your posts, can you clarify how the context you gave is different than mine? Your definitions line up pretty closely with mine.	/r/MensRights	29/06/12 05:33 PM
5	To /r/feminism: here's what's wrong with reddit Well, it's kind of hard to insult someone for being different than you through a shared metagroup. Human!	/r/MensRights	29/06/12 08:18 AM
34	To /r/feminism: here's what's wrong with reddit I'm not sure that's a healthy diet. ....Or that those make for very good lube.	/r/MensRights	29/06/12 07:42 AM
1	To /r/feminism: here's what's wrong with reddit I felt weird using it in French so I just used it in English, but thanks!	/r/MensRights	29/06/12 06:39 AM
3	To /r/feminism: here's what's wrong with reddit tl;dr: Some people do not take rejection well. I thankfully seem to hang out in the right parts of college. Granted, I'm in a major that's 98% female and a minor that's so small everyone's on a first name basis, but...	/r/MensRights	29/06/12 06:24 AM
1	To /r/feminism: here's what's wrong with reddit Oh, you want the fun part of it? I even went through International Baccalaureate and still managed to never take a US history class that went any farther than the 50s and the Civil Rights Movement. I started to learn about the Vietnam war because of Miss Saigon, ffs.	/r/MensRights	29/06/12 04:18 AM
2	To /r/feminism: here's what's wrong with reddit I know. It's physically painful when the state mandated curriculum wants you to teach about the first Thanksgiving and you twitch, going NONE OF IT HAPPENED THIS WAY AT ALL. Kids are so beautifully, painfully straightfoward.	/r/MensRights	29/06/12 04:06 AM
3	To /r/feminism: here's what's wrong with reddit I'm actually shockingly good at censoring myself. I can get stabbed in the foot and I'll still just yell out 'ouch!' (instead of OH SHIT FUCK AUGH) As for my mother, she was the older of two daughters and her younger sister committed suicide at 22, so she's got some bottled up issues. I think my grandpa molested her too, but she denies it. I don't get people who don't like kids becoming teachers. It's like working at Planters with a peanut allergy. Sure, you make a difference, but kids NOTICE wh…	/r/MensRights	29/06/12 03:51 AM
1	Why tomorrow is a BIG day for the MRM Sorry to swoop on in, but: Free birth control - There is no male birth control, so that isn't biased against men. Reality is, in that respect. Sorry. If this were to become common and were made available as part of a birth control plan, for free, how would you feel about that? It's about as surgically invasive as the Depo shot women can opt to take, though longer lasting. I'd just like to hear your opinion. Edit: Oh, and even if HPV only causes cancer in women (not that it does, not enough resea…	/r/MensRights	29/06/12 03:24 AM
4	To /r/feminism: here's what's wrong with reddit I have seen that, though not since high school. Negative gender assumptions abound.	/r/MensRights	29/06/12 03:17 AM
7	To /r/feminism: here's what's wrong with reddit That ended up being a double-edged sword in my case. My mother tried to buy my love, and she was relatively well off, so I never really wanted for much.. On the other hand, she's emotionally screwed up and doesn't know how to show love other than buying me things (she insults me in front of friends, has a multitude of other issues, etc) and when she found out that her father sexually abused me for 11 years of her childhood, she was hurt because 'I didn't trust her enough to tell her.' Yeah. I pe…	/r/MensRights	29/06/12 03:16 AM
10	To /r/feminism: here's what's wrong with reddit Ah. Only child here. The force is weak with me.	/r/MensRights	29/06/12 02:52 AM
3	To /r/feminism: here's what's wrong with reddit I agree completely. Here's to hoping.	/r/MensRights	29/06/12 02:49 AM
8	To /r/feminism: here's what's wrong with reddit That does sound interesting. I try not to insult people often (aside from jokingly calling my friend an asshole when pranked and the like). I'd love to craft more clever insults, but I suffer from terrible staircase wit, and can never pull them out of a hat quickly enough. Kudos to you!	/r/MensRights	29/06/12 02:34 AM
3	To /r/feminism: here's what's wrong with reddit I agree with your statement regarding emotional harm; that is certainly why people use these slurs. I don't necessarily believe that the user of a bias-oriented slur carries that bias (though some do, surely); it's more that... Let's use 'faggot' with its homosexual slur meaning as an example: Societal view that being gay or perceived as such is bad -> epithet becoming casualized as a way to get to people, because its implied meaning is socially stigmatized -> it gets used by people who may not …	/r/MensRights	29/06/12 02:32 AM
1	To /r/feminism: here's what's wrong with reddit Well, I admire your gumption. Have a nice day, Captain.	/r/MensRights	29/06/12 02:27 AM
10	To /r/feminism: here's what's wrong with reddit Personal anecdotes serve you about as well in this case as they do me; I've been called a bitch for refusing to sleep with or date people (by both men and women), but have never seen a woman call a man a dick for refusing her advance. Granted, this could also be because there's a lingering social pressure on guys to make the advances. I'm aware it's not by any means all guys, hence why I said some. I'm not sure which groups you're insulting with: and I claim there are just as many weak bitches t…	/r/MensRights	29/06/12 02:02 AM
2	To /r/feminism: here's what's wrong with reddit While it certainly does seem to be a human trait to hate those who are different than you, hoping that one day we can move past that base hatred keeps me going.	/r/MensRights	29/06/12 01:47 AM
0	To /r/feminism: here's what's wrong with reddit Indeed. Therefore, I hope that society shifts to using language that is offensive for reasons that have no particular bias (shithead, asshole, etc). There'll always be namecalling, but for equality's sake I hope we move away from gender based poo-slinging.	/r/MensRights	29/06/12 01:33 AM
268	To /r/feminism: here's what's wrong with reddit Personally, instead of gender-linked insults like bitch or dick, I prefer asshole. Everyone has one, and they all stink.	/r/MensRights	29/06/12 01:29 AM
107	To /r/feminism: here's what's wrong with reddit It does change by context, but both of its usages aim to discourage behaviors that stem from gender bias. For women, it's used when she is rude or harsh, or by some (unfortunately) when she rejects advances and is not as demure as hoped. For men, it's used to ridicule perceived weakness or femininity, which is negative for two reasons: one, it implies that being female is negative, and two, it implies that men should never have a tender side or show weakness, so really it insults both primary ge…	/r/MensRights	29/06/12 01:29 AM
17	To /r/feminism: here's what's wrong with reddit "No one can make you feel inferior without your consent." - Eleanor Roosevelt. While I see what you're getting at, and that can certainly work as a personal policy, the use of slurs and similar derogatory language ends up causing a normalization of that behavior, and in particular when viewed by children can alter their worldview in harmful ways. It's good to let slurs roll off your back, but societally we need to work toward removing the underlying gender (and other) biases that inspire their u…	/r/MensRights	29/06/12 01:25 AM
14	Gay shaming has to stop That brings up a related concern. It deeply saddens me that not only are negative traits like uncleanliness and rudeness considered male traits, but that even men are culturally encouraged to propagate that assumption.	/r/MensRights	12/06/12 04:11 AM
6	Presentation at My School MBA is short of Master of Business Administration, a degree required for most reputable business positions. MRS is referencing Mrs., as in Mrs. Smith, a title used in English for married women. The joke is that instead of attending college to earn a degree that will lead her to success in the business world, said woman is attending college simply to meet a man she can marry who will support her.	/r/MensRights	01/06/12 07:59 AM
